6" lift, what size tire
i've got a 2001 gmc 1/2 ton that i'm putting a 6" suspension lift as we speek and a 3" body ordered. i have a set of 37" tires lined up. would they fit without the body lift????? pics of 6" with 37" tires would be awsome.

Re: 6" lift, what size tire
I am pretty sure 37's will rub bad with only the 6 inch lift. Most guys are running 35's with a lift that size.

I have a friend with that setup on a 04 1500... it rubs but is easily drivable... and the front bumper is trimmed...

Re: 6" lift, what size tire
I had an 04 Silverado with a 6" Pro Comp lift and 3" body lift. With the 6" only, 35x12.5 Nitto Mud Grapplers rubbed horribly. With the 3 inch body installed, there was more than enough room for 37's. I have pics with the 6" suspension, and 3" body sitting on 35's, just don't know how to post them cuz they are kinda big! PM me your email and I'll send them to you if interested.

Re: 6" lift, what size tire
ok, thanx guys. i'm thinkin about these 37" because there only $200.00 and about 1/2 tread. untill i get the money to get new tires, i'll prolly go with 35" then. actually i have 305-75-16 on now, and the guy that has the 325-80-16 wants to trade me even up because he wants a bigger tire on his truck but the 325's rubbed.

Re: 6" lift, what size tire
Yea but you got solid axle as well its different with IFS you need more lift to run the same tires IMHO! I would think 6" could do 35"s easy but 37"s like 2" BL as well but I gotta agree I don't really like BLs either!
